Comment(by drkirkby):
Have the other issues that are circumvented by hacks to spkg-install been
reported upstream? Such as:
{{{
# These two are needed so that Sage can catch pari's error signals.
cp "$PATCHED/init.c" src/language/init.c
cp "$PATCHED/mp.c" src/kernel/gmp/mp.c
}}}
Then's these this not very clearly documented patch
{{{
cp "$PATCHED/get_dlld" config/
}}}
And another, this time a bit better documented, though no trac number.
{{{
# mabshoff: This patch is to get around problem in PPC 32-bit Linux build
# (but it is ok on any other machine)
cp "$PATCHED/get_dlcflags" config/
}}}
(That is probably the -fPIC issue which will soon be able to be removed)
{{{
# pjeremy: fix for FreeBSD: #7825
cp "$PATCHED/get_kernel" config/
}}}
Then this.
{{{
# cwitty: disable -rpath
cp "$PATCHED/get_ld" config/
}}}
And another.
{{{
# This is needed or there are weird locale problems involving rpath
# with building Sage.
LC_ALL=C
export LC_ALL
LANG=C
export LANG
}}}
And another
{{{
if [ "$UNAME" = "CYGWIN" ]; then
# There are weird bugs in PARI's build process on Windows XP
# under Cygwin.
# Passing in this extra flag gets around the bug.
$MAKE GMPINCLUDE=-I$SAGE_LOCAL/include EXTRADLLDFLAGS=-lgmp gp
else
$MAKE gp
fi
}}}
And another
{{{
# Also another patch since paripriv.h won't compile right on OS X
# when used by client Sage code. So we replace it by a slightly
# modified version.
cp -pf "$PATCHED/paripriv.h" "$SAGE_LOCAL/include/pari/paripriv.h"
}}}
That's a lot of patches to one program. How many of these issues have been
raised? Personally, I would be very tempted to remove these, and find what
fails. Otherwise maintenance of the package is going to be very difficult.
